Achieve wonderfully crunchy coatings and toppings with Kikkoman Panko – Japanese style crispy bread crumbs

The Japanese breadcrumb mixture panko is a fantastically versatile ingredient for cooking, baking, frying and deep-frying. Kikkoman Panko – Japanese style crispy bread crumbs adds a pleasant crunch to all kinds of foods. It’s made of a special kind of crustless white bread which absorbs less fat and oil than regular bread, creating a delightfully crisp texture. You can use panko in any recipe that requires ordinary breadcrumbs: it’s great as a coating for schnitzels or vegetables, as a crunchy soufflé or lasagne topping or to bind meatballs, stuffings and doughs. Why not combine Kikkoman Panko – Japanese style crispy bread crumbs with Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce or one of our intensely flavourful Teriyaki Marinades for a mouth-watering dish with extra crunch? Panko doesn’t contain any seasoning, so it’s ideal paired with Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Sweet Soy Sauce or Sauce for Rice/ Sucrée and it also works well in sweet dishes such as crumbles and deep-fried desserts or as a base for flans and tarts.
